When does a CT scan happen aboard a Mobile Stroke Unit?
And can it be performed while the vehicle is moving?
In this educational video, the UF Health Mobile Stroke Unit team explains why CT scans are performed while the vehicle is stationary on scene. Keeping the unit still prevents motion artifacts that could interfere with interpreting the scan, allowing medical teams to evaluate and treat patients right where they are.
By bringing hospital-level stroke care directly to the patient, Mobile Stroke Units are changing how emergency stroke treatment is delivered.
